Author Mike Weidle intervie Susquehanna Times & The Mount Joy Bulletin s Carl Lewis near Bainbridge TMI census in progress here by Mike Weidle On June 20th the Pennsylvania Department of Health, with assistance from the federal Center for Disease Control, launched a massive $300,000, month to six-week long health survey. The health survey/census is being conducted within a five-mile radius of the damaged TMI nuclear reactor. Some 45,000 people live within this area and an estimated 98% of them will be surveyed. The purpose is to establish a ‘‘head count” and collect basic health information on the persons living there, so future researchers know who was in the area when the March 28th TMI accident occurred. The census will help show, for example, if radiation that leaked from the plant this year will result result in an unusual amount of cancer 20 years from now. The census takers, mostly people from a 25-mile radius of the TMI, are paid $3.19 an hour. Many are students, school teachers, and house- wives. They have found the vast majority of the people they interview to be very co-operative and willing to talk freely. The interviews take from 1S minutes to one hour, depending on the number of people in a household. Some examples of opin- ions on the TMI incident, as relayed to census takers, are as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Stoner of Black Swamp Rd., Bainbridge RD1, said that the public was not aware of the potential danger of TMI when it was built, and that scientists still don’t know enough about radioactive emissions and disposal .of Mount Joy Swim Team meet winners Mount Joy Swim Team hosted a meet with Willow Street last Thursday, bow- ing to their team with a score of 260 to 169.
